Savinho | City reject Spurs approach

I’m happy to leave it to Pep too. But Pep isn’t exactly faultless when it comes to picking his favourites.

I think the favourite thing is way overblown, other than maybe Gonzalez, who else could he pick in midfield last season at least up until January after Rodri's injury with Fodens drop in form other than Gundogan ,Bernardo and Kovacic ?

Just tell them like Grealish they're not wanted. One of them will surely leave I'm talking Akanji, Gundo, Kovacic

We need rid of Akanji, squad is stacked with CBs. Been a big defender of his as I thought he was quality in 22/23 & 23/24 but his lapses in concentration are costing us even against Palmero he just switches off. No need for him in the squad even if Stones and Ake don't maintain fitness

After the shit show from the entire team last season I don't see how anyone can have formed a negative opinion on a 21 year old kid who is still settling in.

I would rather argue that after the shit show from the entire team last season I don't see how anyone can have formed a positive opinion on a winger signing who scored one (1) league goal in 29 games.
 
I love Bobb too but Savinho has achieved a fair amount more in a City shirt than Bobb has. It does seem folly we're prepared to let young players go after so little opportunity. Not sure our squad planning policy has that much planning behind it when you hear things about the club willing to enter into negotiations with a player who has had one season here. Echeverri the same.

I love Bobb and think he's the better player. But why is it either or? Savinho played his best football on the left for us last season, there'd be plenty of minutes for both with Marmoush going to AFCON and Doku having a poor injury record. And if something happened to Erling, Marmoush would be needed up front and Doku would be our only option on the left.

It's silly.

I 100% agree with that and it’s odd that he’s never really been given the opportunity over there again.

I don’t believe that City want rid of Sav but as with any player at the club, we won’t stand in his way if he likes an offer from elsewhere. We won’t do to Sav and Spurs, what they did to Kane and us. Rightly, or wrongly, we don’t operate that way. We just ask players to bring us an acceptable offer and clearly, the club thinks there’s a deal to be done.

He's a good player that Kevin tbf

Unsure on Savinho, I think it's the right thing to do if we get 70 million for him and get the space to sign a Livramento. I do feel he has a few higher levels to reach though Savinho and this could easily blow up in our faces and become Palmer 2.0. Tricky call to make. Time for Hugo to show his mettle.

Selling the 21 year old winger who's one of the best in his age group to keep 3 30+ centre backs of the 7 we've managed to collect is a hell of choice.

I'd rather give Akanji my best wishes on a free tomorrow, than give someone who is in the la liga team of the year at 20.

Bobb is being massively overrated by own fan base atm. He's only shown glimpses to me and I'd have Savinho starting over him atm.

Not saying he won't become a great but let's not put too much pressure on him.

We all would ideally but if nobody wants to sign them what can we do ?

When I say we need better quality I’m not saying we’re gonna buy anyone or not I’m talking in general.
You have no idea if anyone else is arriving and neither do I
If savinho left and Rodrygo arrived it wouldn’t surprise me
We bought Trafford when we have Ortega and Ederson
There’s lots of moving parts at the moment

True, but I would be surprised if we brought someone else in, particularly someone for the same position. For me, we need another midfielder, but that should come at the expense of Gundogan/Kovacic or even Gonzalez, not at the cost of one of our two natural wingers.
 
I get we are stacked in this position and need the HG slots but we need to hold out for a decent fee if going to entertain this. I'd send Levy a Dr Evil gif after the Kane fiasco.

If you can’t see Bob is quality that mad?! I think Savino is great player I would want to not lose him but seems he is being impatient for reasons he only knows we can guess!

The review of the 23/24 season might have looked a little different TBF…

KDB picks the ball up in the centre, he looks up, he lofts it over Trippier into Savinhos path, Sav brings it down but smashes it well wide of the mark.
